Wet Location Sockets

A wet location socket is a surface-mounted grounded socket protected against dust and water splashes by its cover and enclosed housing. It is used to supply plug-in devices in damp or dusty places such as laundry rooms, boiler rooms, garages, basements, balconies and workshops. This category contains IP54 products from the Viko Palmiye series and TP Elektrik: single and double grounded sockets, types with transparent covers, UPS and data sockets, and horizontal and vertical models that combine a switch, two-circuit switch or two-way switch with the socket in the same housing. Compare the IP rating the environment requires, the number of sockets, whether it is combined with a switch, horizontal or vertical layout, and screw or screwless connection. Models combined with a switch bring lighting control and the socket together at a single mounting point; for these models, also choose the switch side type to suit the lighting circuit. A wet location socket should not be confused with industrial CEE plugs and sockets; it is made for household grounded plugs, and CEE plugs do not fit this socket.
